My communication style

I take a gentle and empathetic approach in my sessions with clients. It is my goal to help each of my clients feel seen, heard, and safe because I understand that counseling is a very vulnerable position. I focus on building a comfortable relationship so that each client feels safe to be real.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a counselor because I noticed a lot of hurting people around me and longed to make a difference in people's lives. As a Christian, I believe Jesus redeems our suffering for his glory and our good, and this drives me in every session and gives me hope even when hearing the darkest stories.

My goals for you

I believe it is my job as your counselor to help you determine your own goals and work towards progress in your own way. My goal for my clients is to help them achieve whatever healthy lifestyle they are longing for, and I hope to work together to accomplish this.

Our first session

During our first session, you can expect me to explain the counseling process with you. After that, I want to spend our time getting to know each other, and specifically, what is bringing you to counseling. Once you feel safe and comfortable sharing, I will want to ask you what you hope to gain from therapy.
